We meet and get to know the Pastors, after all they are in front of us on the platform each week. But we wanted to take a moment to meet the special women that back up Pastor' Matt and Justin. We've met other "Pastor's" spouses in previous episodes. We welcome now our two newest. Thank Charly and Heather for this opportunity to learn more about you!

We heard a few weeks ago from the students who went to NYC this year. What an experience they had. Pastor Ray takes a minute to give us a little more detail to the trip. You'll be impressed with what God showed these students and that might give you the inspiration to look into how we can help further to give more students a great adventure into God in 2029!

We've all been waiting to see whom God would send to fill the position of Executive Pastor. Well, our wait is over! Today we take a moment to meet and learn a bit about Pastor Justin Schultz.

We're excited to begin this series about Making the Bible Your Own (Sub-Title-Become the Bible). We explore ways to read, understand and grow in our bible reading and understanding.

Host Mark Bocci and Pastor Tonya Marks were so encouraged to talk with one of our students, Easton Johns. Easton is in love with Jesus and loves to share his faith with everyone he meets! God is using Easton in big ways for the Kingdom! With students like this, the church is in good hands!

Host Mark Bocci and Pastor Tonya Marks enjoyed a wonderful conversation with Kenneth and Jolene Thompson about their service to veterans' families through the American Legion. Thank you, Kenneth and Jolene!

Randy and Lucinda Neff are relatively new to our church. We were blessed to get to know this couple in this conversation of how God has been working in their lives. We believe you'll find this couple delightful and will want to get to know them better from here.

We wrap up our series on Worship Music with Brooksie Smith and John Wiggs - both lifetime Nazarenes, public school educators, worship leaders, and lovers of Jesus!

Susan Blankenship and Allison Winnie have joined our conversation about worship music and ministry. They both have extensive backgrounds with music. You'd recognize both of these women for their wonderful vocal graces in our choir and as worship team leaders.

In this episode we continue our conversation about worship music with Ken McArthur (Violin) and Mike Harris (Bass and vocals). This is an enjoyable conversation about their perspective and history serving in the music ministry.
